LIAM Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy has declared the singer “her guardian angel” following his untimely death – with the pair even sharing ‘angel numbers’ together in love notes.
In a heartbreaking tribute on Wednesday, Kate shared notes she found from Liam in which he vowed to marry her within the space of a year.
Throughout the note, which is believed to be a manifestation pledge, he used the number 444 – which has now taken on a deeper, more resonant meaning than either he or Kate could have imagined.
Angel numbers are believed to have mystic vibrational patterns, which help people attune themselves to the universe and what they desire.
It’s a practice that dates back to Ancient Greece, but is still used to this day by many who believe it offers them direction in life, or messages from the spiritual universe.
Many note that they spot the numbers in their day-to-day life, considering their number a sign of what to do, or to get where you need to go in order to achieve your goals.

The number 444 appears in Kate’s devastating message after Liam’s death, with her revealing her boyfriend of two years had also used the number in a note shortly before he died at the age of 31 on October 16.
444 specifically has previously been used by Jay-Z, with the acclaimed star calling his thirteenth album 4:44, having a tattoo of Roman Numerals IV alongside wife Beyoncé to symbolise their wedding day of April 4th (or 4/4), and even naming his daughter Blue Ivy (her second name being the phonetics to IV).
The numbers are believed to have specific resonance as a message of love and guidance.
Speaking to , medium TJ Higgs explained: “The angel number 444 signifies protection, encouragement, and support from the spiritual realm.

In Kate’s public statement as she processed Liam’s death, she wrote: "I don't even know where to begin. My heart is shattered in ways I can't put into words.
"I wish you could see the huge impact you've had on the world, even as it feels so dark right now.
What are Angel Numbers?
A subsect of numerology, angel numbers are believed to be placed in your life in order to tell you you're going in the right direction. Here's how to find yours.
Among the ways to find an angel number is by using your birth date, which can be broken down to one singular number.
To find it, you add up all the numbers in your date of birth, and continue to add them all together as they break down until one remains.
So, hypothetically, if you were born on March 20th, 1998, you would add 3+20+1+9+9+8 = 50, and then 5+0 which is 5. So 5 is your birthday angel number.
You can find another with your name, by assigning numbers to each letter of the alphabet (A=1, B=2) and breaking it down the same way.
The birthday number is believed to give you guidance in your career and aspirations, and where you're better suited in life.
"You brought so much happiness and positivity to everyone-millions of fans, your family, friends, and especially me. You are so incredibly loved.
"You are - because I can't say were - my best friend, the love of my life, and everyone you touched felt just as special as I did. Your energy was contagious, lighting up every room you walked into.
"None of this feels real, and I can't wrap my head around this new reality of not having you here.
"I'm struggling to figure out how to live in a world without you by my side. Together, we got to be kids again, always finding joy in the smallest things.
"Liam, you had the kindest soul and the most fun-loving spirit. It feels like I've lost the best part of myself. I can't imagine a day without your laughter and love. You brought so much light into my life."
She continued: "A few weeks ago, we sat outside on a beautiful evening manifesting our lives together.
"I keep your note close, even though you told me not to look at it.
"It said, 'Me and Kate to marry within a year/engaged & together forever 444.'
"Liam, I know we'll be together forever, but not in the way we had planned. You'll always be with me. I've gained a guardian angel.
